Club Deportivo Chivas USA (Disbanded)

A 2005 expansion club in U.S. Major League Soccer, Chivas USA was patterned on the storied Mexican club based in Guadalajara (10-time Mexican League champion). "Chivas" is the nickname for the Mexican club officially known as "Club Deportivo Guadalajara." The nickname (meaning "goat" in Spanish) was originally meant by rival fans to insult the team, but was adopted as a nickname of affection by fans. The Los Angeles team maintained a logo similar to that of the Guadalajara club and played in the same red and white striped jerseys (which colors were, in turn, copied from a Belgian club for which the team founder once played). Chivas USA played their home games at StubHub Center in Carson, as did its local rival. The team, originally owned by Jorge Vergara Madrigal (also owner of the Club Deportivo Guadalajara) and Antonio Cue (then in 2012, just by Vergara), was obtained in 2014 by Major League Soccer to be resold to a new owner. The team was disbanded after the 2014 season.
